on; and if this chapter
shall, by its light style, attract the attention of those who are too
busy, or are disinclined for any reason whatsoever, to collect from
more profound works the facts here given, I shall be satisfied with the
result, because I shall have done something toward the triumph of fact
over fiction.

We cannot repeat too often nor emphasize too strongly this one simple
fact, that we need all our energy and time to make _this_ world fit
to live in; to make _homes_ where mothers are happy and children are
glad--homes where fathers hasten when their work is done, and are
welcomed with a shout of joy.

The toilers who wend up the hillside,
The toilers below in the mill
Alike are the victims of priestcraft,
They "do but the _Master's_ will."

The _Master's_ will! ah the cunning,
The bitterly cruel device,
To wring from the lowly and burdened
Submission at any price!

Submission to tyrants in Russia--
Submission to tyrants in Rome;
The throne and the altar have ever
Combined to despoil the home,

But the home is the heaven to live for,
And Love is the God sublime
Who paints in tints of glory,
Upon the wings of Time

This legend, grand and simple,
And true as eternal Right--
"No Justice e'er came from Jury,
Whose verdict was based on might!"

As high above earth as is heaven;
As high as the stars above
The Church, the chapel, the altar;
Is the home whose God is Love.

intrinsic nature _and the environing_ actions, inorganic and organic.

"Beginning with the extrinsic factors, we see that from the outset
several kinds of them are variously operative. They need but barely
